In this episode of Digital Transformation & Leadership, Danny is joined by David Hanna, the CEO and co-founder of Finmo.

David has over 20 years of expertise in the financial services and payments sector. Prior to founding Finmo, he held global leadership roles in Risk and Compliance for Financial Services companies headquartered in various locations globally.

In this podcast, David shares his insights on what pushed him to not just shift gears - but start a company in the often overlooked world of treasury, plus:

  • Treasury has become a top concern for many. Why is this problem so critical today? And why David thinks it’s been underserved for so long?
  • How Finmo are making treasury “sexy”? What’s different about how Finmo approaches this space compared to traditional players or even newer fintechs?
  • What does Finmo’s journey say about the next generation of fintech coming out of Asia? And what are the unique challenges and opportunities building here vs. elsewhere?
  • Finmo recently raised their Series A with Insignia Ventures. What did David learn from the fundraising process - and how is he thinking about growth and scaling post-raise?
  • Starting up is intense. What keeps David energized and focused as a founder, especially when solving a problem that’s massive but not always flashy?
  • What excites David the most about the future of finance and treasury in this "borderless" business world?
